I am Salt. I am a Blogger. I write to season lives. I write to shine my little light. I write because I just love expressing myself, my views, my thoughts, and sometimes my angst in words! I also write because I see it is the outlet for my God-given "voice". Thank you for coming by! I hope you leave here inspired to be better, go further or at the very least I hope as you click away, there's a smile on your face.

Father, Forgive Me For I Have Sinned.

Judging others comes so easy to us humans. There is this quote I love and hate in equal parts. 'We judge others by their actions but judge ourselves by our intentions'. I might not have said it right but still 'idea is need'. I am sure you get my drift. I love it because it is true. I hate it because it makes me guilty. Maybe you are a better person but I catch myself judging people too harshly. Harsher than I would want them to judge me. Truth is who died and made my the Queen of Sheba? As far as I am pointing my finger accusingly at the other person, is it not just my God and I that know who I truly am?

We judge others because we somehow think we are better. They are bad and we are good. But who says so? What is it about me that could ever EVER place me above anyone? Nothing! Nada! Zilch! There is nothing good in me of my own making. The only 'good' in and about me is 'The God in me'. He makes me good. So there is nothing for me to boast about. And I have no right to judge anyone. I leave each person out there to be judged by the One and only True Judge. God. Whether we like it or not, believe it or not, we will face him one day.

Anyway, today, I own up to the errors of my ways. I have judged others by my own standards. I have my own mental models about how people should be and behave especially if they call themselves God chasers. No doubt, I have a right to have my own mental models borne of the life I have lived and the experiences I have had. And true, I have a right to my own opinions and to speak my mind. What I don't have a right to do is to think that others have to think like me. What I don't have a right to do is make myself a judge over anyone. I did that today. Father, forgive me for I have sinned.

I promise to live and let live.........in Love as you give me grace Papa.

About Me

I love to write and ever since I discovered the art of blogging have been trying really hard not to become a blog junkie! I am blessed to be married to a man who 'gets' me most of the time and to have three children who make me laugh in totally different ways.
And in 2012, God gave me a new name. He called me Salt.

Salt's BirthVerse

Luke 5:26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

What more can I say? As I continue to hold tight to God' s hand as 2009 bids us farewell and 2010 beckons, people will see the work that God and I will do together and be amazed and full of praise to God! They will be filled with awe and say 'We have seen remarkable things today' In Jesus Christ's name. Amen!Click on the link below to find out what your birthverse is
